What is the breakdown of health insurance covered lives (employees, spouses, dependents)? How many employees/covered lives use Kaiser? United HealthCare?
How many employees currently opt out of health care coverage? If available, do we have the reason they opt out? (Mayor Wilson, Councilman Chapman and Aguirre)
Tables 1 and 2 below represent the breakdown of active participation and the breakdown of dependents by health insurance carrier:
The total number of eligible employees is 2,317, of which 349 (15.1% of all eligible employees) have elected to opt out from the City-provided health insurance coverage. Primary reasons for employee opt-outs has historically been enrollment in health insurance coverage through spouse, coverage for military members, retirees, and dependents, and coverage through Medicaid.
Of the active employees, 224 are projected to take advantage of the new Employee + Child(ren) coverage tier.
